Relative to the failure TO invite negro SOL
diers to the International Military Encamp-
ment at Chicago, Gen. c.. j. Bentley, the
General Manager, says: because it is de
sirable that perfect harmony should pre-
vail, and that would not be the case if col
ored companies were allowed to participate,
made the order entirely on my own judg-
ment, and adhere to it because did not,
and do not now, think it wise to bring I'M
congenial clements together. The occur
rences at the military encampment last
May show that the admission of colored or
ganizations would cause bad feeling" Gen.
Bentley is a brave man, but if he isn't
careful, Fairchild and Tuttle, and others of
that ilk, will have his scalp-that is, of
course, if Gen. Bentley happens to be a
Democrat. If he is a Republican, they
will let him off

Perhaps the most peculiar accident that
over occurred took place ON farm near
Louisville, KY, a few days ago. A Mr.
Simpson bought some dynamite to use in
blowing up stumps in his yard He had a
lot of hogs roaming about the place Near
the noon hour the members of his family,
who We're at dinner, were startled by very
loud report, and, hurrying to the window
to ascertain the cause saw a cloud of dust
arise from the ground. An investigation
showed that two hogs and a horse had been
blown to atoms. 1t seems that one of the
hogs swallowed a dynamite cartridge. A.
farm hand saw the horse kick the hog, and
the next instant the explosion followed. No
trace of the hog was left and a hole several
feet deep was made in the ground. The ex
plosion was heard several miles away

Mr.. Sherman had his triumphal
procession in Ohio, and Mr.. Blaine
has just had his in Pennsylvania.
On the whole Mr.. Blaine's is of
superior quality. Ohio will have
AZ votes in the National Convention
and Pennsylvania will have So.
Ohio is Mr.. Sherman's own State
and would naturally support him,
while the fact that Mr.. Blaine was
born in Pennsylvania is a senti-
mentality so abstruse that it can
have no particular effect on practi-
cal politics. The resolutions
adopted mention the circumstances,
but the real ground for Pennsyl-
vania's support is tina. she admires
Blaine.
In one sense the action of Ohio
wac more important than that of
Pennsylvania. Sherman had to
have Ohio's iudorsement-it made
all the difference to him between
being in the field and out of it
while Pennsylvania might have re-
manned silent without putting
Blaine out of the fight. But now
that both are fairly entered, Blaine
clearly has the advantage.
Still, these are merely prelimi-
nary Blaine has always been
NEAR TO Pennsylvania's heart, but
the real test will come when the
Uncertain states, such as New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut, ex-
press their preference. One thing,
however, has been proved. The
success of the Grant tour around
the world and Blaineis visit to Ell
rope establish the fact that there is
n6'boom better than one at long
fangc.-Post.
